Ice Cream Tall Cake

We had seven March birthdays

to celebrate this Sunday and 

I decided to give my brother's 

Ice Cream Tall Cake idea a try. 

This enormous cake has been 

a family tradition in his home 

for years and I finally 

decided to give it a try.

It consists of a layer of cake 

topped with three layers of 

ice cream.  Over the years 

as he has told me of how they 

made it, it seemed daunting, 

but I figured out a way 

to make it easier.  

I lined my cake pans with 

plastic wrap and then 

topped the plastic wrap 

with a round of parchment 

paper cut to fit.  Then I 

spooned the ice cream in, 

starting along the edges.  I 

used a whole container of 

ice cream for each layer. 

I finally pressed the layer 

down with the back of 

my metal measuring cup 

and did a final smoothing 

with a knife. 

I left the ice cream 

layers in the freezer 

overnight, as well as 

the baked cake layer.

It was so easy to lift 

the layers out using 

the plastic wrap and 

then removing the 

parchment paper.  

My brother Fritz always

frosts his with another 

container of ice cream, 

but I decided to use a 

large container of 

Cool Whip.  I liked 

that I could pipe the 

Cool Whip out.  

Of course, with that many 

birthdays, we had to top 

it with sprinkles.  My SIL 

loved the cake so much he 

said we needed to make 

this a weekly dessert!

From top to bottom the 

flavors are 

Mint Chocolate Chip

French Silk

Cookie Dough

The birthday drinks 

were made by frosting 

the edge of the goblets 

and then dipping in 

sprinkles.  We placed 

some cotton candy in each 

glass and poured 

Cherry 7Up in. 

Everyone loved watching 

the pop melt the 

cotton candy and 

turn the pop 

different colors. 

Thanks for stopping by 

to help us celebrate 

lots of birthdays.
